Testimonials

As an Iowa State Senator and the Education Director at Myrtue Memorial Hospital, I have seen many presenters in action. By far, Barbara is at the very top of the list for quality. The formal evaluations as well as the informal comments have proven this to be the most practical and effective seminar presented here in ten years.

Creative Communication

“Apathy Busters –
Communication Ideas that Get the Point Across!”

“ Survival Skills for a Changing Environment –
Creative Ways to Differentiate Yourself in the Workplace”

For many organizations, communication has become a deep rut full of dreary memos, dismal meetings, and negative feedback. The result is unhappy, apathetic employees and ultimately poor customer service.

A recent study by the Chicago Tribune shows that the average worker spends over 50 hours a week communicating in some way, and Business Week reported that the average American worker gets 274 communications every day. Since we are bombarded by piles of paper, hundreds of e-mail messages, and full voice mail boxes, the only way to get our messages heard is to surprise people. The more creatively a message is sent, the greater the chance that the message will be noticed and heeded!

Using dozens of real-life examples and easily implementable action ideas in such areas as rewards and recognition, day-to-day appreciation, enhancements and reminders, recoveries, measurements, and personal executive actions, Barbara will reawaken the creative spirit in your organization and help both employees and managers find more positive, meaningful ways to communicate whether it is written, electronic, or face-to-face communication.
